The Canadiens failed to get a win for Michel Therrien in his first game against the Penguins since he was fired as their coach in 2009.

‘‘That kind of game is great for the fans, but it’s what gives coaches gray hair,’’ said Therrien, whose team faces the Bruins Sunday night at TD Garden. ‘‘But we managed to find a way to get a point.’’

Montreal outshot Pittsburgh, 39-26, in a wide-open game with shaky goaltending at both ends. The Penguins opted to go with veteran backup Tomas Vokoun instead of Quebec native Marc-Andre Fleury.

Sharks 2, Predators 1 — Dan Boyle and Joe Pavelski got San Jose’s struggling power-play unit going with goals that helped the Sharks beat visiting Nashville. The Sharks had converted on just three of their past 62 power-play chances heading into the game.

Canucks 5, Kings 2 — Daniel Sedin and Jannik Hansen scored 2:44 apart late in the second period to lead host Vancouver over Los Angeles.
